that supports up to 250 device addresses. A second 250-point
loop may be added to the iO500 to expand total system capacity
to up to 500 device addresses. The panel includes four NACs that
may be wired for either Class A or Class B operation.
The iO500 supports a wide range of accessories and related
equipment, including:
• Signature Series intelligent modules, detectors, and bases
• R-Series remote annunciators
• option cards that expand system capacity and extend system
capabilities
• Listed for releasing applications using SIGA-REL
• Fully integrated CO detection using Signature Series 2 detec-
tors with or w/o audible signaling
